Questions and Answers for DECKMATE 1-5/8 in. Tan Exterior Self-Starting Star Flat-Head Wood Deck Screws #8 (5 lbs./735 pcs)

A:  Not sure too soon for me to tell since I just installed them a week ago. I’m sure others with more time experience can help you out.

A:  Stainless steel is recommended for cedar

A:  I’d say 500-600 but I did not count exactly.

A:  The specifications page for this screw on the Home Depot states 735 per box.

A:  The box says approximately 619 for 1 5/8. The title of the product needs to change to reflect the correct number.

A:  I brought them last week and the week before

A:  Approximately 150.

A:  The amount of screws in a pound is related to the length of the screws. You will get about 124 in a box of 1 5/8 screws, 3” screws will be about 62. A box of 1 1/4 will give you about 170. Hope this helps.

A:  a lot

A:  YES

A:  Yes, they are for exterior. Just plan on buying a star bit if you don’t have one because the one in the box is too short.

A:  Yes they are coated. I used them in a fence rebuild and the old screws showed no sign of rust after about 15 years of being exposed to out side weather. In a one lb box you get about 85 screws.

A:  to the best of my knowledge

A:  I would think not, these screws are course threads and used for decking. They work well in oak, pine And other hard or soft woods. I am sure Hardie Board comes with its own fastener recommended by the Manufacturer.

A:  yes, but i would use, a longer 2-1/4

A:  No, do not use the screws you listed. Use these made for Hardie board. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Backer-On-9-x-1-5-8-in-Serrated-Head-Star-Drive-Cement-Board-Screws-575-Pack-23416/300662123
